Experienced acceleration fast enough to pin you back in your seat, I've seen this in plenty of films but have never been in a car fast enough, if you have, what car, what gear (the car not what you were wearing) and how did it feel?

535D, pinned me to the back of the back seat, of the car behind.
997 Turbo was fairly brisk but its bikes that do press you into the seat very well, it is just there is no seat to be prerssed into so its just, press you into falling off the back so it ceases to be fun and is terrifying.

A Caterham will do this off the line, but the most vicious I've driven was the Atom 300. That really did pin you back, rather than simply pushing you, in first, second and still third. To be fair, engaging fourth or fifth still slams you back!
Palmersport's single-seater doesn't hang about either, tails off a bit above 100mph but in second, 250bhp of Jag V6 makes it well capable of giving you a push back into the bucket.
Perhaps equally impressive in a different way is what happens when you open up a V12 Vantage at 4000rpm in third. Huge volume increase, head slammed back, speedo makes like a rev counter
